Excellent handling,traction in MOST conditions. This is NOT a winter tire hence the 9's. Would definately buy these again. I bought them on sale at wally world for 65.50 EACH !!!!!

Packed with high performance features that enhance cornering, braking and acceleration, the FP7000 delivers year-round, all-weather traction, smoothness and stability at an excellent value. The low profile sidewall appeals to many drivers looking for a tire to match their personal choice in transportation. Additionally, the FP7000 features a non- directional tread pattern that allows ease of rotation for improved tire life. The FP7000, a value tire with the strength of Ohtsu behind it. A non-directional tread design offers excellent all-season performance, smooth ride, and multiple rotation patterns to help reduce irregular wear. Tread wear indicators provide the driver with visual cues to help maximize tire life. Variable shoulder tread block design helps reduce tread noise, providing a smooth, quiet ride. High volume circumferential grooves deliver increased hydroplane resistance for improved wet weather performance. Dual steel belts offer greater tread rigidity, increased structural strength, and superior grip. Belt cap improves high speed stability and handling.

I have only had the tires for a few thousand miles now. The best way I could describe them is a sporty Touring tire. They definitely have a softer sidewall that really helps in ride comfort. Because of that, they take a moment to "set" in corners during spirited driving. The actual grip is very good for the category. Rain grip is decent...off the line they struggle a little but dynamically they are really good and deal with standing water very well with good braking performance. Since my needs changed I typically run a HP or UHP for 3 seasons, but now I have occasional long highway jaunts (to the inlaws) and the stiff sidewall of U/HP tires were driving me crazy. I still have dedicated snow tires for the winter, and the occasional time I race the car I also have race tires. So it made sense to take the edge off the main driving tires. I am really happy with these and will likely buy again when the time comes.

I drive a FWD Mitsubishi 3000gt. I've only ever driven on a couple tires in my life, but Imo, these tires are amazing in the dry. They are definitely a sporty compound. The understeer on corner exit even when pushed past the limit is very progressive and predictable. They do not squeal when pushed past the limit like eco tires, they grip very hard. However, these tires will start to show their weakness when ambient temps start to drop below 70F. Ride quality starts to drop as they get hard, and they will lose traction. Hydroplaning/rain was never an issue, Great confidence in the rain. But as said before, if it's cold rain especially, they will spin. They are advertised as all seasons but think of them more like summers. During heavy snowstorms with a couple mm of fresh snow on the ground, my car will get squirrely only going 55 on the interstate. This is even with new (less than 5000 mile) tread. The treadwear rating is pretty low, so I'm not surprised that 30,000 miles in, they are about 75% worn to the first wear bar.

They have seen a low double-digit amount of first gear burnouts though during special occasions btw =D
